simple state machine

[mickey0]

Hello,
I just want to try to implement a simple State Machine and I'm reasoning whch class I need

function Machine(startState) {
    this.startState = new State(startState);
    //states list
 
    this.raise= function(eventName) {
            //alert(eventName);
      }
}
 
function State(idState) {
    this.id = idState;    
        //actions list
}
function Event(eventName) {
 
}
function Action() {
    //execute code
}
 

I dont' know if it's clear what I need to do; what it's not clear to me is how design the things! What must Event class contain? Must each state contain a table like 'for each event says which is the target state' ? . Any helps?

thanks

we can’t really help when we don’t know about it. currently I have no idea about the purpose and the usage of the objects concerned, thus I’m as helpless as you.

PS. JavaScript is a prototype based programming language. the concept of classes as you know it from other programming languages does not exist here.

@Dormilich
I just need to give a definition of a State Machine. It's in js but I would have the same problem with every language.

try the Turing Machine.
